Orleans Parish Prison - Live at Österåker Prison, Sweden - October 1972

Say have you missed my dark-haired girl?
She was set on her love to a hungry world
They took her clothes and the money she took
And they wrote her name in the prison books

Orleans Parish Prison, won't you free my dark-haired girl?
She's tired and cold and you took the gold
She got from a horrened world
Orleans Parish Prison, won't you free my dark-haired girl?

Well have seen my green-eyed son?
He shot a man down with a sawed off gun
They fond him down by the Pontchartrain
And they cuffed his arms with a big iron chain

Orleans Parish Prison, won't you free me green-eyed son?
I heard him say as you let him away
Sorry for what he's done
Orleans Parish Prison, won't you free me green-eyed son?

Well, have you missed my brother man?
He took a little money with a gun in his hand
Now his kids are hungry and his wife ain't well
My brother's locked up in a prison cell

Orleans Parish Prison, won't you free my brother man?
I know it's sad but he ain't bad
He's doing the best he can
Orleans Parish Prison, won't you free my brother man?

Orleans Parish Prison, I missed my green eyed-son
I love my dark-haired girl
I need my brother man
Orleans Parish Prison, I wish you free them if you can
